Here’s something to chew on (pun intended). The conservative God made the earth in 7 days, and it is only about 8,000 years old, and Noah saved every creature one rainy morning (wonder how long that took?). Then there is the liberal version of God , so expansive in concept, taking no particular form, and creative as all get out, revealing mysteries to us every day if we wish to discover them. Take your mind off the kindergarten God and marvel upon this creation for a few moments.

NASA has released radar observations of the 325 meter-wide asteroid that flew safely past Earth today at 8:19 a.m. PST (11:19 a.m. EST), but in those grainy observations, asteroid 2004 BL86 appears to have company — a small moon.

Today’s flyby of 2004 BL86 was over 3 times the Earth-moon distance (745,000 miles or 1.2 million kilometers).

As he walked onstage Saturday at Rep. Steve King’s Iowa Freedom Summit, the song “I’m Shipping Up To Boston” by Dropkick Murphys played. The band was not happy, and later that day tweeted the remark.

The AV Club reports the Dropkick Murphys “are staunchly pro-workers’ rights,” adding their “beef goes all the way back to 2011, when Walker introduced a bill that was designed to straighten-out Wisconsin’s budget—and yes, it’s just as exciting as that makes it sound. In order to fix the budget, one of Walker’s ideas—among many others—was to drastically limit the collective bargaining capabilities of most public employees. Basically, he made their unions powerless. Some people were, in a word, pissed.”

You’re talking about a group of people that have no respect for a womans’ reproductive rights.
They advocate invasive procedures in an attempt to rid their world of abortion when in reality they should have been aborted and now we’re stuck with them.
Why would something like a music copyright bother somebody that feels entitled to stick their nose into every aspect of your life and shit on your face while their goons hold you down in the process?
Unions?
Copyrights?
That’s not even on the noise level of the clown car carrying Steven King.

I know everyone’s sick of this, and most people won’t care when Roger Goodell lets his good friend Bob Kraft off without so much as a slap on the wrist, but the deflated footballs issue takes an interesting turn. Ever since the NFL changed the rules about who controls the footballs the offense teams use, the Patriots have been mysteriously fumble-proof. And only the Patriots. And not the players themselves when they leave the Patriots. Just the Patriots. Hmm.

January 27, 2015 Speaker John Boehner is finalizing a plan to sue President Obama again, this time over the administration’s decision to grant work visas to millions of undocumented immigrants.

Boehner told his conference at a closed-door meeting Tuesday morning that he has a team exploring the best options to challenge last year’s executive action, under which the Homeland Security Department will begin granting legal working status to millions of immigrants, according to sources in the room.

“Our team has been working on litigation. We are finalizing a plan to authorize litigation on this issue—one we believe gives us the best chance of success,” he said, according to a source in the room.

The grass on some south facing slopes gets green during the frequent thaws between our infrequent snow fall. I ran into a neighbor who I call “right-wing guy” on a day we were around zero and he started in whining about how the “California libruls” should come visit before they talk about global warming. The flock of resident robins chose that moment to stop by and start rooting around in the green grass. I just pointed at them and asked him to explain why robins are now spending every winter here when I had never seen one during winter in more than 40 years of studying birds. Still no answer.

Wow. Just wow! Bible Spice might ave been the most incoherent speaker at Steve Kings “I hate everything good about ‘murica” summit but it wasn’t for lack of trying by the others. Actually, since one can actually tell what the other freaks are talking about, I think they were worse.

Awesome pictures but I wonder who the Daily Mail’s shark expert is. Most recent scholarship has concluded that the Bull Shark is responsible for most attacks on humans and the Great White gets the blame. Not that it really matters all that much if a creature with a hundred or so saws or razor blades in it’s mouth decides to “gently examine” ones anatomy just “to see what it is”!

I think that Douglas Adams made a quip about getting hit in the head by a hammer wrapped in a lemon peel. You would never feel the lemon peel.

The Huckster has been whining about those potty-mouthed New York wimmins. Funny. I didn’t hear a peep out of him during the years he was cashing the FAUX”News” checks. I’m also getting really, really, sick of his “big city vs. real ‘murika” crap.

Obama scraps bid to raise taxes on ‘529’ plans
Danielle Douglas-Gabriel
The administration retreated after a strong backlash to the proposal, which would have curtailed a major tax benefit of the popular college savings accounts.
